Beyond cryptography, what hardware-level vulnerabilities are a concern in SoCs?
Silicon security has traditionally focused on cryptography, including hardening crypto-accelerators and protecting key storage. In System-on-Chip (SoC) design, this approach is insufficient. An SoC integrates multiple components, such as cores, memory, and third-party IP blocks, onto a single die. This integration introduces hardware-level vulnerabilities that do not target the cryptographic algorithms themselves. Instead, these threats […]
How is a transformer used in neural networks?
Transformers are a neural network (NN) architecture, or model, that excels at processing sequential data by weighing the importance of different parts of the input sequence. This allows them to capture long-range dependencies and context more effectively than previous architectures, leading to superior performance in natural language processing (NLP) tasks like translation and in computer […]
AI interface provides structured access to engineering data
Microchip Technology has introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a platform designed to provide AI systems with direct, verified access to Microchip product information. The server enables developers and enterprise AI tools to retrieve up-to-date technical data such as specifications, datasheets, pricing, and lead times through natural-language queries. The MCP Server operates on streamable […]
